- W.C. Jinks
It was with universal regret that the friends and relatives of this community learned Monday night of the death of W.C. Jinks at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Kansas City. The body was brought to Goff Wednesday noon, accompanied by Mrs. Jinks, Mrs. Bessie Greenwood, sister of the deceased, and W.E. Howland, brother of Mrs. Jinks, and taken to the home of the bereaved wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.R. Howland.
Death was due to a disease of the bones. An injury to the right foot of the deceased last September caused an infection that meant months of suffering. The right limb was amputated several months later in the hopes of benefitting the condition, but the disease steadily grew worse until death came as a relief to the departed Brother.
William Curtis Jinks was born February 7, 1883, near Goff, Kansas, and departed this life Monday, May 15th, 1916, at 8:00 p.m., at the age of thirty-three years, three months and eight days. Mr. Jinks grew to manhood in this community, and except for a short time has always made this his home. He was manager of the Goffs Telephone Co. for a number of years and has followed that line of work. He held the respect of everyone for his manly virtues, good citizenship and brotherly love. On September 5, 1905, he was married to Miss Florence M. Howland of Goff. Besides Mrs. Jinks, the deceased is survived by his father, Earnest Jinks of Goff, and his sister, Mrs. Bessie Greenwood of Topeka.
Funeral services will be held today from the Goff Christian church. Rev. A.L. Woods of Valley Falls, former M.E. Minister here and a friend of the deceased, will preach the funeral sermon. Corning Lodge No.13 A.F.&A.M. will have charge of the burial ceremonies at Fairview cemetery, and the last rites of Masonry will consign the remains of a Worthy Brother to the Supreme Architect. Members of the Masonic order will serve as pall bearers.
The sincere sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved widow, sister, father and other relatives in the lost of a thoughtful husband, brother, son and friend.
The Goffs Advance, Goff, Kansas. Thursday, 18 May 1916.
